How much I missed this. The brands are gaining too much confidence again, we gotta start bullying them

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We do, regularly. Especially here!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately it is ineffective, since most brands don't bother with such fringe communities, like here.

They already begrudgingly pay minimum wage to have someone write cringe inducing comments on the big platforms. That is, if they aren't just using ShatGPT.

Besides, to be able to bully them, it would also mean they are spamming their crap here, and I don't think it's worth it.

bluesky fellas did manage to send adobe reeling, that's something we can all aspire to do

Lmao Curse of Ra

Hilarious shit

”Hello fellow kids” vibes

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This describes it perfectly. The account handler probably doesn't even game.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

So it's Elons account?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

My bet is that it's an intern who believes marketing/advertising is a great thing and sees games as "waste of time". Or a 50yo manager who fired the almost-competent PR team and asked their nephew how games worked.

I also consume the nutrients at the dinner time.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I really hate it when corporate Twitter accounts try to be quirky. Wendy's trolling McDonald's was funny for a bit but even that got old and I blame it for making this sort of thing common.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

They realized that cringe increases engagement via hate-sharing.

So... my phone was out of battery, so I pulled out my power bank and connected the cable to my phone, but then I was feeling like I'm connecting two parts of an explosive device, I instinctively said, loudly:

"BOMB PLANTED"

Now the entire plane is staring at me like I'm some sort of criminal.

No wonder airport guards started to break into the toilet after I gave birth to a fist-wide log screaming the same in a sudden mix of terror and glee.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 month ago

Shut the fuck up, brand!

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Parody account

...Basically indistinguishable from any regular Twitter account. Why did Elon want these accounts labeled, again?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What exactly is it supposed to be a parody of?

Just because someone uses it to try to be funny, does not make it parody. It doesn’t make it sarcasm. It doesn’t make it ironic. People love to use all of those incorrectly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Rick Ashley I assume.

I guess they were a parody account of him earlier but they changed their mind later.

You know why

My life is like a video game, trying hard to beat the stage, all while I am still collecting coins!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I battle with the evil ways
I travel far and try and save
Sorry, but your princess isn't here

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I can almost see the grey face of the marketing intern shuffling out of another pointless meeting to write this, debating whether their health insurance would cover jumping out of the building window.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

They tried to say this wouldn't work, but Bob the PM thinks its great and has ordered you to put it through. His only concession to your warning was "well, add an 'lol' or something to make it sound gamery".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

This is the real reason they're so obsessed with AI... Let the computer write this shit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

And fire the intern and let them die uninsured.

[–] RisingSwell 24 points 1 month ago

10 health from dinner? Unless my max health is like, 40 or less that's just rude.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (14 children)

No. But I do sing the victory fanfare tune from final fantasy every time I do some small thing. Wash dishes? Victory! Laundry? Victory! Cook dinner? Victory! Take a shit? Victory!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh. Oh I'm not the only one. I'm not even an avid FF player; I just played some of the remakes on DS.

The victory tune is burned into my brain, as well as the Chocobo theme.

This is awesome. I still remember that tune from when I played it. Funny how some people think positivity and imagination aren't excellent things. You keep doing you! And I'm definitely going to be copying your idea!

TFW someone posts "don't be evil" on a thing with the author credit scribbled out.

Screenshot of Twitter. Tweet by @GooglePlay made on March 13th, 2024 reads "Gaming really changes your life lol anyone else out here yelling +10 HEALTH when they finish dinner?" A reply tweet by user @RickAstleyGamin (which was scribbled out in the screenshot OP posted) simply reads "no".

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I didn't find the original. I'm glad you did, I'll edit the post!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Very cool of you! Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

I don't think any video game character YELLS their active effects at us...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Ever since the 80's, I can't close my eyes without seeing falling tetriminos 😔

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I take "Thing that didn't happen" for 500, Alex.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

For a proper plate of pasta you should at least get +40. If you cooked it yourself maybe even +1 skill point. If you fed someone, "you are now friends".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

(cricket chirps, but halfway through stops, sees who’s talking, and quietly leaves.)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

No, but now I'm half the Wolfenstein chicken dinner sound in my head...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I actually cannot stop hearing the MGS exclamation sound effect everytime I type a !
